i am a newbie to leathercrafting and started out purchasing bellies for my projects... stitching scared the daylights out of me lol ive enjoyed your vids and feel i am ready to venture forward... my stitching has since improved and feel comfortable purchasing shoulders and sides of diff weights... ive made simple zip pulls, pouches, wallets, sheaths and bracelets... i watched your zipper vid and have actually installed 2 zips... flip flops and a nice gusseted purse are on my list... once again tysmfs
I would recommend using wool for stuffing because it keeps the needles in really good condition. Need to make one of these as soon as I acquire some punches.
Thank you very much for your great instructions, which you do very well and in detail. I am excited and delighted to learn from you again and again. Thank you for sharing all of this with us. And your way of sewing the leather goods together is really awesome. Since I've seen that from you, I sew everything just like that and my sewing horse is only standing in the corner. Thank you very much and keep it up!
This is too funny. Copying your pin cushion design was, literally, the first leather project I ever did. It turned out HORRIBLE, but it gave me the "I can actually do this" drive I needed to keep at it.
Got a pack of needles that kept falling out of the paper holder, this will be a great project. thank you! good use for destroyed dog toy stuffing too :D
So, I’m a brand new leather guy, just ordered a bunch of your patterns including this. I’m stoked to learn simple stuff and then get into knife sheaths for the knives I forge. I’m trying to find a round accordion change purse/pouch that old gentlemen carried in their front pocket. Do you know of such a thing?
I think it would've been a good addition to put in a layer of fabric or felt between the top leather layer and the cushion to keep strands of the polyester or whatever you're using from popping out of the hole. Btw is that utility knife around 1:50 made of brass? Does the extra weight make it nicer to use?
Okay, I honestly didn't think you'd literally grab couch cushioning. You did though, and I respect the intuition grab actual cushioning. I thought you maybe have grabbed a Styrofoam. Much better for the environment. As a amateur leather worker, I try to be as nature neutral as possible. My day job is as a chef and I can almost fully process a cow by myself. Still do love your videos; you are my main teacher in leather craft. Thank you so much.
Hey! Love your work, it’s always beautiful quality. I have noticed in your previous videos you finish your leather with mink oil liquid and Aussie conditioners, is there any reason to use both and not just one or the other? I pretty new to leather craft and I want to try natural russet leather but I’m confused what to use to get that beautiful golden colour your leather projects have :) thank you
you can use one or the other for sure! I use mink oil for color on natural veg - it tends to give a more red/brown patina over time. Then I do a good wax paste for protection against moisture, etc - if I had to pick only one I'd do a wax paste
Poundo board is available at Weaver or Tandy. You can use poly cutting boards, lead slabs, heavy leather or my favourite, the end grain of a slab of wood.
If y'all don't want to sacrifice your furniture for stuffing it's referred to as polyfill or fiberfill and you can find it in craft stores and even Wal-Mart. I really cherish these videos. Thanks!
My husband made a leather pincushion recently, and for the stuffing, he just grabbed a handful of rabbit fur dust bunnies from our house rabbits’ play room. 😂🤷♀️ Reduce, reuse, recycle?
we have plenty of free patterns available on Weaver's website if you'd like to download them :) some we do charge for so we can keep making videos, yes

Watched this and made one kind of freehand, thanks so much for the inspiration!

Hi, what measure of leather thickness did you use ?? For the edges what size of sandpaper grit do you use ?? Thanks....
Pillow stuffing is definitely the way to go. I tried cotton from cotton balls and the pins didn’t stick.
Lovely project! Thanks for sharing. 😊
What size do you use for the stitching holes
Love your content 👌
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, good job Eric, I Still like the backward stitch, it would look so pretty on that project, but that's me, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
very nice thank you for showing
Very good work 👏
Mantap bosku. Saya suka vidio nya. Indonesia
Stuffing is the trick for leather needles
Lolol, I remember that video because you killed the wing back for the stuffing. 😆😅🤣🤣🤣😂
Thank you 👋👋👋👍👍🌹🌹🌹
What’s the best way to machine the logo stamp? Is that something you outsource? Thanks!

good idea! it is solid brass, something we've been working on for a while - coming soon ;)

@@Corter that makes much more sense now! I appreciate your reply :)
3:46 wow, lol. Love it
Oh no. This time a couch. Lol. Next will be the pillows 🤫🤭. 😜🥰
No furniture is safe around "E". Lol.
Funny. I was just thinking I am sick of looking for where my needles rolled off to.
Could you tell me what the red board on top of the granite is called thanks
Ok when I saw the thumbnail I thought you just reposted the old video. I was like are they trolling us🤣🤣🤣
never ;)
Hey there. I am following your work and I always wondered, what kind of glue you use for the leather. Would you please help me?
Thank you from Germany
barge cement or weldwood usually :)
I popped over to weaver for the beveler, but what size beveler are you using here? Mine is HUGE, and this is just perfect for my needs.
Size zero.
@@thatHARVguy Perfect, thank you!
fill it with lead shot and make it dual purpose
I think it needs a gusset but thanks for sharing.
Hello, please tell me on what material you punch holes with a line punch?

I use old dryer sheets. Smells really good, already paid for and they’re not in a landfill.
THERE we go! I knew it had to have a name haha, thank you!
@@Corter I'm thrilled to be of assistance :D

if it works it works!
Had to go all Rick James on the couch huh?
Haaaaaawat!
Third.
A dollar? Are you that greedy? Just give the the dimensions and be a nice guy.

@@Corter I know I have been a loyal fan for many years, but this is to simple .
